They do most of all the daily toil, such as it is, thengh I know of no peasant population in any other part of the world who get a living as castly as these folk. The men allow the wemen to d» most of the field labor, but when the grain is bagged the males place it in single bags across the back of a pony, and so take it to market. They walk beside the tiny ite ponies and balance the grain slung crosswise on tne animal’s back, and when the grain has been sold or bartered they bound on to their ponies ind Carreer madly homeward, each one trying to outdo his neigkbor in deeds of recklessness in the hope of | winning favor in the eyes of the dusky maidens, They are mean in regard /to money cr gifts, and know the in- trinsic value of things just as well as any peddler in all England.

A BRAND'FROM THE BURNING.

The bridegroom hung on his bride’s arm likea fly to a sugar stick. He was a tall young man, dressed ina black frock coat, light trousers braced up to show that he wore stocks, shoes, white gloves, and a high crewned hat. He

carried his bride’s white silk gingham |in one hand and an enormous bunch 'of flowers in the other. He tried to ‘look meek, but only succeeded in look- ing’sly, hypocritical, and awfully un— ‘comfortable. Attimes he would look |at his new spouse, and then a most |unsainily expression would cross his |foxy face; he would push out his great ithick lips until they threw a shadow }al round him; open his dazzling white 'reeth and let his great blood-red toague

He did no: Carry any para- sols, or fans, or gewgaws of any kind in bis great muscular fists, One hani grapsed an iron-shod assegai, and tne other lovingly fondled a battle-axe, and both weapons looked at home | where they rested.

Achum of mine -who knew the way these people had, advised me to pur snuff before being presented to the bride and bridegroom, and I had act- ‘ed accordingly.

Thebeer was ina large cala- bash, and I fe't constrained to drink some of if. These natives know hew to make love and they know how to make war, but, as my soul Jiveth, they don’t know how to make beer.

A Few Reasons Which are Rapid-

ly Making a New Catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the /new Catarrh cure has the following advantages over other catarrh rem- edies:

First: These tablets contain no cocaine, morphine or any other in- |jurious drug, and are as safe and | beneficial for children as for adults:

But it did not ap. way; possibly I was O its nicities.

TS OF EXCELLENCE.

The bride, a full.blooded ne-/| zress, was dressed in a beautiful white |

/catin dress, which fitted heras if ix i chiff, plunge into the river, swim their | :

\is recalled that many catarrh reme- idies do contain these very objec- tional ingredients.

Next: being in tablet form, this remedy does not deteriorate with age, or an exposure to the air, as liquid preparations invariably do.

Next : The tablet form not only | preserves the medicinal properties ‘but it is so far more convenient to carry and to use atanytime that it is only aquestion of time when the tablet will entirely supersede liquid medicine asit has already done in the medical department of the United States army.

Next: No secret is made of the composition of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets; they contain the active principle ef Eucalyptus bark, red gum, blood root and Hydrastin, all

eliminate them from the blood.

Next : You can not cure catarrh by local applications tothe nose and throat, because these are simply lacal symptoms and such treatment can not possibly reach the real seat of catarrhal disease which is the blood; for this reason, inhalers, douches, sprays and powders never really cure catarrh, but slmply give temporary relief which a dose of plain salt and water will do just as well.

Catarrh must be driven outof the system, out of the blood, by an in- ternal remedy, because an internal remedy is the only kind which can be assimilated into the blood.

Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets do this |better than the old form of treat- j;ment, because they contain every \saf2 specific known to modern science in the ‘antiseptic treatment of the disease.

Next: The use
